I also really like how araki made Pucci black because religious psychosis in the black community especially in America it's particularly strong and often leads people to do things that actively harmful towards people in the black community as well as everyone around them. With the belief that they are helping others or achieving a great divine goal, which is exactly what puci did. and dio being the one to brainwash him is really interesting because it's exactly how black people get brought into this idea of religious divinity by people essentially exploiting the black community that was already in a very bad state both mentally and economically the way that dio.
Overall I love Pucci as a character for the way he parallels what happens to many marginalized people that turned to a type of racial divinity fuelled by their need for change, growth and freedom from the society they live in
Stone Ocean isn’t just my favorite Jojo part but it’s my favorite piece of media. I think a big reason for that is because, to me at least, a lot of the themes and messages of the story feel inherently queer/trans coded. The biggest themes of the story are about memories, and what our pasts mean to us, how they shape us. We see how Jolyne and the others have pasts that make them judged, outsiders to society, traumatized. However, they all become more than what they once were and find their true selves. FF specifically embodies this so well. They literally find a new body that fits them better, making them happier. The life and body they were living in before was dull, near-meaningless and subject to the whim of other people. They express their authentic self, but have to move in caution because of that, and value their bodily autonomy over everything else.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, however, we have Pucci. In him, we see what refusing to critically assess yourself and reshape your ideas does, especially when religion is brought into the mix. His entire goal of wanting to have everybody’s fate known and set in stone isn’t him working past his trauma, it’s him literally being consumed by it. He claims to have good intentions, and genuinely does believe that. But because he isn’t able to face his fears head on, he winds down a dark path that leads him to become the opposite of what he wants was, so engulfed by his own bubble that he can’t see how hypocritical he’s become.
Probably wasn’t intended- (maybe?? since some people claim that shonen made Araki change Anasui from being a female, but who knows)- but this just mirrors being queer so well to me. The process of literally rebuilding yourself, while still honoring what value you can pull from your past. Meanwhile, people all around you try to frame you, spread lies and force their beliefs and rigid viewpoints on you. I love you Stone Ocean 🌊 💿 🦋
They have unspoken Gorillaz energy and I’ll die on this hill ugh
Can we see any progress on the next part please????

Did you see the video where Israeli soldiers dressed up like Muslim women and doctors and stormed the hospital in the West Bank and assassinated 3 young Palestinians?
Did you see the bloody pillow with the bullet hole in it?
THIS IS WHO THEY MURDERED IN THAT BED. A paralyzed CHILD named Bassel.
This video was taken just one day before Israel literally shot him in the face in his bed.
Just when you think they can’t get any lower, they do. I don’t care what lies they tell about this child, it is illegal EVERYWHERE to do what they did.
This kid had nothing to do with October 7th. And anything else he did, you simply aren’t allowed to go into a hospital and murder a paralyzed child.
It’s CRAZY that we even have to say this.
And the White House actually defended this today, but it was before this video was released.
I (finally) had a day off work and it was only 104 degrees outside, so I decided to go see that new fangled turts movie.
Best on-screen vomit since Avengers: Endgame 10/10
Obviously I had to doodle best boy.
It always starts small but we are finally seeing it
DONT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE! DONT STOP TAKING ABOUT GAZA!
DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU FORGET!!
Tumblr has shown itself to be pro-Israel and has been spreading pro-Israel propaganda.
Some have been leaving this site altogether in light of this news, others have been minimizing their posting to only be about Palestine (and not only due to the global strike), etc.
Regardless of what you do or don't do on this site, one thing should be absolutely clear:
Do not support the Tumblr brand in any way, shape, or form.
Do not give them your money, do not give them positive reviews, do not speak positively of the staff, none of that.
Continue spreading support for Palestine. Continue uplifting Palestinian voices. Shout out Palestinian creators.
Do not stop talking about Palestine.
This. I have not seen ANY videos/pictures/media showing destroyed buildings in israel like I have seen in Palestine. We have seen Palestine being totally leveled: bombed hospitals, houses, schools, everything. But you know what I have not seen? The same in israel. And do not even try to say "oh khamas controls israels media!!!". How? Because thats makes you sound like an antivaxxer flatearther 💀 so your opinion is automatically worthless and waste of space.
Like people make it sound like what happened on oct 7 was like The Rumbling yet I havent seen anything of that level. Yet you could think that it happened in Palestine because of all the evidence.
